[#800000][size 4][/size][/#800000] 
 
[#800000][size 4]I have 7 south bend, 3 lightening, and 2 millenium ice fishing rods. I have about 10 different styles of Quantum Snapshot reels.[/size][/#800000]

		The popularity of your boats post was pretty good. Lets see if you can get the same results out of this one. Fenwick and Aspen for this boy, with a couple quality quantum ultra lights. Looking to get a BNM for the panfish.

		I have an Eagle Ice fishing rod with a Shimano reel on it. Today I bought a Shakespeare 6'6" Medium/Heavy rod and a Penn 309M Level wind for my muskie trolling this spring[  ]. I have a 7 or 8 more rods and reels locked up in my boat. When I go get it out of storage to mount my new fishfinder I will post the rest[  ]

		Ok here's what I use most often, and lets say they are ........ well lets just say they have character (a couple are older than me)  
 
Favorite rod is a Yellow med action 6' Sportsman (company now out of business), An Ugly stick med action 6'6". a shakespere ice rod, A Roddy Matic I thin it is 6'4", A gray pole that ha all the identifing marks worn off but is ultra sensative (the says I should take lessons), A bear River med action ultra light tip 7'2" and last but not least and Abu Garcia Vantage Plus one piece 6' med/hvy action pole.   
 
Now that is what I keep in the bed room, if more is needed I will have to go to the basement for the rest.

		Well don't know where to start . I really love my St Croix premier rod . It's my jigging rod .I have 5 fly rods , 3 Fenwicks (a broken Iron Feather )  , St Croix , and old glass fly rod . I have many other Kmart types (Zebcos)  and about 4 ultra lites that have been shorting by trunk lids and windows . I have 5 ice fishing poles now and one of those fancy tip ups  . Just in case I take some kids ice fishing with me . I got 3 trolling rod with the leaded line . I did buy me a down rigger so can't wait til the boat is up and running to check it out . Couple of ugly sticks spinning rods  . Most of my stuff is spinning  , never learned how to cast the level line reels , Yet .  Really want to get me a new ultra lite this spring . Just my humble collection with some broken at some time .Just never got the nerve to bury them yet . To many memories with some .

		Thank You. The Base Exchange has had 3 of them sitting there since the early fall season. So I figured for 90 bucks, I better pick one up, seeing how my last medium/heavy action rod fell apart. They have 2 left if anyone is interested, I believe they are heavy action though  
  
 
*Edit*  
 
Ok, I cant lie. I really love the DEEP click the Penn's put out when something starts rippin the Drag. But then again, this coming from a guy who loves the tire growl from his 36" Super Swamper tires [sly][sly][crazy]

		[#ff0000][size 3]I’m a build-it-yourself kind of guy.  I’ve made and remade every kind of pole there is.  I like refurbishing old poles like that broken tip one in the attic that your grandfather gave to you.  That’s my usual cold winter night kind of hobby.  [/size][/#ff0000]
